Applications for the 2019 New Colombo Plan (NCP) Mobility Program have opened.

This year all students participating in mobility projects nominated for the 2019 NCP Mobility Program will receive funding from either the Australian Government or UWA.

Additionally, UWA’s Office of the Pro-Vice Chancellor International (OPVCI) is offering workshop support to UWA academics to assist with the application process.

To find out more about this year’s NCP Mobility Program you are invited to a Lunch and Learn on Monday 26 March (full details below). Light refreshments will be provided.

The NCP Mobility Program provides funding to Australian universities to support talented Australian undergraduate students who undertake semester-based or short-term study, internships, mentorships, practicums and research projects in one of 40 host locations across the Indo-Pacific region.

About $28.7 million in Australian Government funding is available to support Student Mobility Projects that will enhance the student learning experience by building connections with their peers and boosting their employability in the graduate job market.

The NCP 2019 Round for Programs opened on 19 March 2018 and you have until 7 May 2018 to submit your applications. An announcement in the 28 March edition of UWA Forward will provide a link to the application.
